Best GPS Navigation system for Omnia with unlocked GPS

[theidoctor]

So with the new i910 Gps unlocked, i thought i would start a thread on some of the best GPS software out!


I will be testing the U.S. Versions of these software, and please dont ask where to find them.

But if you need a headstart ---> HERE YOU GO

Alright so this is what i have installed so far:

Garmin Mobile XT - with the basic worldmap and 2009 North American Map

Igo 2008 - Now with North American Maps installed

This is a list of Apps i need to install: (i have not heard of some of these, so this is new to me)

*Tomtom CURRENTLY HAVING TROUBLE.... SAYS CAN'T FIND MAPS... IM PRETTY SURE THEY ARE ON THERE
*Route 66 - PROBLEM WITH THIS AS WELL.... AT LEAST 1 FILE IS MISSING? (GEE THANKS)... I HAVE AT LEAST 1 MAP ON THERE, BUT STILL LOOKING AS WELL!

*If you can help me find a link to get some of these that would be nice.... idoctorblog@yahoo.com
PLEASE DONT POST THESE LINKS ON THIS FORUM!
--------------------------------------
If there is one that isn't listed. just add a post to it and i will look for them.
--------------------------------------

Please show us some of your works and what you think about these apps!

I got TomTom 6 to ghetto-work on my Verizon Omnia by flipping the phone to landscape mode, and then only with the beta rom. It does not play well at all with the stock rom. Even now, the TomTom screen is almost doubled on the display, since it doesn't support the Omnia's resolution. There is some screen fix utility in this Omnia forum, to scale the resolution, but that does not work at all with TomTom.

And if anyone is interested, http://www.oncoursenavigator.com/item.aspx?itemid=8200 is where to check out I-Go's North American version, called OnCourse Navigator.

Im actually using igo 8 with north American maps.... it is so much better now that i finally found the POI's for my area... there were building files as well for the US, but i have yet to see it in action yet...


I would really like to see igo 8 work with the building and 3d terrain, but once i do more testing with it, i should see where it works.

I do like igo 8 a lot better than garmin.... mainly because it is faster to load....

if garmin were faster,i would prefer them because of the extra live features that they have like traffic, weather, etc

I wasn't able to find any option to get Igo 8 with american maps, their website pointed me to the American distributor.

I have TomTom looking perfect on my phone but it can't detect GPS. Are there specific settings? It works for me on Google Maps.
